[Droid Incredible Accessories] demarcmj:
Right now I have the OEM car mount, which I absolutely LOVE, but ill need to buy a new one every 2 years when I get a new phone. I like the fact that with this Tetrax one you can buy once and use it for multiple devices. What I'm not so wild about though, is the idea of having to attach small metal discs to the back of my devices.
[Epic 4G General] The Lepricon:
Ok, you know how when the battery gets to 15% the phone makes this loud obnoxious noise, and then again at 10%, and then again at 5%, as well as a few times in between? Is there any way to kill that racket?

I really despise that thing. I usually know when my battery is getting that low and don't need any noise to remind me.

:D
[Epic 4G General] dmanwithnoname:
I can't stand seeing that pop up telling me to plug it in. If I could I would damnit. Making that thing come up probably kills the last couple of battery cells that could have been used to finish up the porn I was watching.
[Epic 4G General] TomCerul:
I'd be interested in enabling the camera at low power. Drives me nuts that 19% power isn't enough for a single picture... apparently.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
HEllo, I have another problem.

Whenever I hold down the search button and say "Call ____________" and it's a business that i do not have in my phone, it adds "+1" before the area code. I have a droid incredible, btw. on verizon (obviously, hehe).

i'll say "call mcdonald's" and it'll dial "+1610xxxxxxx"

However, because it adds this "+1", it cannot dial, and a verizon voice comes on and says something like,

"welcome to Verizon wireless. your call cannot be completed as dialed. please check the number and dial again. announcement 4 switch 8-4"

this is a pretty big problem, cuz i have to memorize the number and retype it and then dial it. which is like, the opposite of what i should be doing. and it's kind of hard to show off the cool Voice Search feature on your phone if you can't dial all the time...

any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
also, i spoke w/ someone from htc customer service, and he says that all of their htc devices add a "+1" to their calls, too...

is this a htc problem?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
Are you running a Z rom?

Those are Europe-exclusive, so it'll add the 1 for the international call.

I think.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Yep, this shouldn't be a problem with a sock Incredible or any of the Inc or Evo based ROMs. The only time I've encountered it is when using a Z Rom, and then only when I enabled sync with htcsense.com.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
no, i'm running stock android and sense, i have not rooted.

maybe it's because i have htc syncing on?

i only have facebook for htc sense on... news stocks... google syncing...

do you guys have this problem? on your incredibles, what happens if you hold down your Magnifying Glass (search) and say "Call McDonald's" ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
Hello, I just noticed something ...

in Google Voice, my voicemail service, I notice that any number that is NOT a contact is displayed w/ a "+1" in front of it. Could this be related to Google Voice?

i don't have a Google Voice number, though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
Just checked my GVoice.

All (US) numbers have a 1 in front, even if I didn't add them.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
hm... thanks, but why the +1...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
That's the code for the country.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
the problem is that not every number has a country code. the ones that do, and they have a +1, when i hit redial, the call cannot be completed. i tried to disable assisted dialing, but that doesn't fix anything. any other ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
i'm beginning to feel like the problem is w/ Sense... when you root your Incredible, are you still running Sense? I think it's something to do w/ stock sense. we'll keep seeeing...

Hey guys, I'm just wondering of the currently nightlies, which one is running the smoothest? Also, if I'm on CM7 GB6, how do I upgrade to a nightly properly? full wipe and install?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic

The latest nightlies. Download, and flash like any other rom. just be sure to re-flash the latest gapps with it to be safe.

Edit: Also, from 6+ they all include the wimax, so no worries there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweisholtz:
i think the easiest way is to just use Clockwork Rom Manager.

You can get the nightlies directly from the app, and also receive push notifications when they are released every night. It's very simply with Rom Manager.

Also, coming from an existing CM7 ROM, you don't have to do a full wipe when moving over to nightlies. It won't hurt, but i have successfully gone back and forth without wiping many times.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Just to note, you can only download roms with the premium [paid] version.

Don't you hate when you are having a great convo with someone, missed a great party, or showed up to work late cause of a delayed or getting no text at all. Arrrg I hate delayed texts. Freaking shocks me when I get a call and then all of sudden 20 texts come in all at once. Wish there was fix. Latest guys.

It sucks.... Doesn't matter what rom or kernel you are using... ive spent hours trouble shooting with sprint to no avail... (Stock unrooted)
[EVO 4G General] marcusva79:
No **** man. I know starting threads is bad but I thought it be cool to talk bout this with others that are having this retarded issue. **** my ole school Nokia phone never had delayed texts and that was 10 yrs ago 0-o
[EVO 4G General] l8agin:
I've been having this issue too. Is it a problem on spirnt's end or a manufacturer hardware/software issue?
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Best is when texts arrive out of sequence and delayed.

I hope most people realize texts are not as reliable as email, especially when sent between different providers.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:

[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
Yeah, I get this problem quite often between my wife and me. It seems to be random when it happens. I'm thinking it's a Sprint issue, not hardware or software.
[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
just stopped in to flame for your use of "convo" lol. I personally hate having a text conversation, that's why I have a phone. I try to keep texts short and sweet.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
That happened to me last night, I got 44 texts all at once and a pissed off girlfriend.
[EVO 4G General] wiltok:
Happening to me as well. Texted my wife "Stopping for dinner - do you want anything?". Got her reply after I walked in the door - with food only for me!
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
ahaha that must have went well...

A phone call will "normally" fix it. Sometimes it wont even make a call while this is happening.
[EVO 4G General] l8agin:
Instant messaging seems to be the only way, other than a phone call, to ensure messages get through. And avoid pissed off wives/girlfriends.
[EVO 4G General] marcusva79:
I know, I am starting to rely on using google chat/trillian to get my message thru to the wife friends and all. I like the one about getting food for himself, that happened to me the other day and I was a unhappy camper sharing with the wife. But the thing is phone conversations i hate cause of akward silence. Texts is just straight to the point and easy to hide. hahaha
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Look on the bright side.. You get free mobile-mobile. It takes 20 seconds to ask the question and receive an answer vs sending a text, waiting for it to be received and acknowledged.

This has to be one of those generation gap things. For years I hated texts and texting, still do. However it is beneficial to non time critical events.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
and for those times where you cant call.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
I don't know if im clients or google voice would eat up more battery. I used to go the gv route since that goes through the internet and not sms with the carrier. Of course it helps if the other side had gv too.

[EVO 4G General] butwhydoitalk2u:
can the text retardation be associated with 4g. i know that when my 4g is on i do not get any mms. i don't know if it slows down regular texts as well.
[EVO 4G General] marcusva79:
What are using rom wise? I didnt get mms last time i was using 4g. I need to try that again. I was cm7 nightly 8.
[EVO 4G General] anguyen2008:
Hmm, you're getting delayed texts on CM7? I'm also on the nightly builds but haven't run into this issue yet. I'm more likely to believe it's an issue with the carrier more than it is with your phone. Have you tried any 3rd party texting apps (Handcent/Chomp), or maybe even Google Voice?
[EVO 4G General] marcusva79:
I think handcent is was what was really screwing my texts. So now I am using stock and I am actually growing fond of it on CM7.
[EVO 4G General] :
My usage of my EVO:

0 minutes on talking

0 texts

4 gigabytes of data :)

If u dare talk to me, use xfire is wut I tell people.
[EVO 4G General] anguyen2008:
Are you still getting delayed texts with Stock sms app? Or was it only when you were using Handcent?
[EVO 4G General] marcusva79:
Honestly lately when I was using Handcent. At times I would text myself to see which worked better and timestamp wise and stock has been doing good. Im thinking on trying GOSms but i hate the themes it has for it.

JigglyWiggly data is the killer for me man. Glad i got unlimited. hahha
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
I have gotten this on stock, salvage gb, miui, and mikfroyo.

Using stock, go sms, and whatever miui uses.

All without 4g on.
[EVO 4G General] l8agin:
I've always been on burnt droid and have the problem for the last few months only. but i've also developed the dreaded "sending sms to the wrong person even when you when i was texting the right person" issue, though it's only happened a few times. It's also happened while on 4g or not, and also using chomp sms or the stock messaging app, so I'm inclined to think it's not our phones messing up.
[EVO 4G General] Sypris:
Never had delayed texts on Warm [Z] TwoPointTwo. I do not use 4G, however. It's not available where I live.
[EVO 4G General] .psd:
For those of you who are getting 20+ messages delayed, are you sending hundreds of messages daily? I send maybe 50+ messages a day and the only ones I receive delayed are when the sender has sent multiple-part messages without using Go SMS to split them. (Messages split by Sprint take more than a minute between parts which is absolutely ludicrous).

Also, when you get the load of old messages all at once, does it show the correct sent time or does it say they were all sent at the time they were lately received?
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
50 plus. It shows the correct time oddly enough.
[EVO 4G General] KingViper:
I can say that google voice has it's own problems. Sometimes the GV app will get hung up and not receive anything. Only until I manually open the app and hit refresh, or sometimes kill the app and reopen it will I get texts. Luckily if I don't respond to a text within 15 minutes my GF will send one to my actual number instead of GV, where it will usually come through. Sadly, this is a huge PITA.

I'm thinking of switching to google chat or something, but that only fixes the issue for people I know that also use google chat on their phone..which is like..2. :(
[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
I have not has as many issues with sprint as I did with att on late texting. I am still paranoid about it though so every now and then I will text myself to ensure that I can receive texts
[EVO 4G General] Beknatok:
For those asking if this is possibly related to 4G, I assure you that it is not.

I've been struggling with this issue since my days of carrying the Palm Treo 700P. A number of years ago, when I tried to research this exact issue then, all I could find were some unfounded claims that the root cause involved fundamental flaws with Nextel & Sprint's network architecture. Unfortunately, I could not find anything more substantial.

Rest assured, this is nothing new though. I've dealt with it with numerous phones/OS's all on Sprint's network... Palm OS, WinMo, WebOS, and now Android.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Its not rooted. I had this problem more often before I was rooted then after.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
I've seen them say one time on my phone and a different time on the phone it's being sent to. Not too often, but I have experienced that.
[EVO 4G General] jcote258:
I noticed that once the delay hits if I update the profile it seems to stop the delay for a while. Must be a problem with Sprint

Try HeyTell... cross platform ptt walkie app
[EVO 4G General] ipatella:
google voice

This used to happen to me a lot on my pre, I don't notice it as much on my evo but it definitely does happen. The trick is that I use google voice to text now and I never miss a text. I can even reply from a pc if I'm having one of those conversations. I wish there was a fix, but this seems like the most consistent way to get a text.

first of all this is the wrong forum. this has nothing to do with development. please have the thread moved the Q&A section. see also: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837781

second, if the RUU is not in the sticky at the top of this section it is unlikely that there is one.

third, it would help immensely if you could share what provider/operator your phone is from.

fourth, there is no need in bumping the thread after a few hours. we are not here to solve everyone's individual problem, if someone has an answer he will write it down sooner or later.

[Android Themes] TheManii:
Is it possible to change the color of the menu bar? (is this the correct term for it? circled in image)

I've decompiled the framework and looked though it and searched a bit online at the AOSP docs and general themeing, but none of them mention how to change the background color.

I'm trying to change it so it's black like on gingerbread, that's the last thing missing.

Could anyone provide directions on how to change the color of it?

The rom im using is streakdroid 1.7.0, the framework attached is from that with modifications to make it closer to stock gingerbread.

I posted in this section since I assume that directions to changing it should be applicable to any rom?

[G Tablet General] joe2262:
What's a good backup strategy to use with the gtab?

Earlier today I removed sdcard2 without unmounting it and took a stab at installing the android SDK on an unused netbook running Win 7. At some point the gtab started notifying me that the sdcard may need reformatting (it was inaccessible at this point). A power cycle didn't clear things up so I formatted sdcard and lost a bunch of files and two games stopped working. Anyway, that's my tale of woe.:o Now, how could I lessen the pain?
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
I always keep a backup of pertinent data on my computer too. I backup monthly with titanium and with clockwork. I then take copies of those off the gtablet and put them on a backup file / rom vault on my computer.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAVC1:
All,

I am new here and to SmartPhones. I like Captivate because it has low radiation.

I am impressed with the activities I see here and on CyanogenMod. However, these give me cause for concern regarding the energy level required to accomplish them. Linux is good but I am returning to graduate school in the fall so I am concerned regarding the requirement of these phones and OS's. I would appreciate it if some of you could explain why so much work occurs with Android. Is much of this activity born out of the decision of carriers to control OS releases to specific phones? I see this as a major factor presently.

With that said, it does appear Samsung blew it with regard to v2.2 and the Galaxy S phones. I am nearly embarrassed to inform you that I own two Samsung LCD monitors after learning of this negative experience.

Clearly, I void the warranty if I embrace the activities here but this just rationalizes the choice of a refurbished phone!

Please attempt to characterize the time requirement for becoming involved with these Samsung Galaxy phones and Android. I know I am not the type of person to be interested in continually working with my phone to make it better. However, I also know my limited perspective can be biasing reality with this OS and these SmartPhones unnecessarily negative.

Oddly, my wife is considering the Focus because it would give her the MS support she needs with work. Regardless, it does appear we have found a few excellent Internet resources for these choices...I just want to ensure I am not getting in over my head.

Thanks,

Rick
